Hudson Baseball Association

Running multiple Baseball teams at 7 different age groups is the organization's largest program service. The process begins in the fall when tryouts are run by volunteer coaches and board members. Tryout participants are rated on their Baseball ability, their attitude, their attentiveness, and respect shown to others. Once teams are selected, sessions begin immediately and run from early fall through winter and into the spring when Baseball season begins. The time dedicated by the organization with the teams prior to season play is spent teaching the game and its fundamentals and mechanics. We also discuss sportsmanship and attitude on and off the field. A primary objective is to develop athletes that are well rounded and represent themselves, their team, their community, and their families in the best possible light. To prepare for Baseball season, the organization purchases full uniforms for all the boys, along with necessary safety equipment. Teams are entered into leagues as well as tournaments, all with registration fees covered by the organization. Fields are rented by the organization to allow ample practice time and home games. Fundraising is conducted to help keep registration fees affordable for families and to offset revenue shortfall.

Outside the spring and summer Baseball leagues for our teams, the organization provides clinics. Clinics are open, for a registration fee, to young athletes in the community and teach position-specific fundamentals (i.e. Pitching clinics, hitting clinics, etc). Often times clinics are offered in the off season when weather in our area forces us indoors, so we rent local indoor facilities to conduct host these clinics.
